Comment (by gk):

 After thinking a while about how to mitigate that problem in Tor Browser
 while we are waiting for a new NoScript release it seems to me we don't
 want to just whitelist that particular tracker. The risk is that a week
 after release a different one hits the same bug and we start playing
 whack-a-mole. I think we should disable the XSS protection for now until
 it can't be used as a DoS tool anymore.
